With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to FIGS. 1 to 14 thereof, a new and improved pump apparatus embodying the principles and concepts of the present invention and generally designated by the reference numerals 10-42 will be described.
More specifically, the pump apparatus of the instant invention essentially comprises a pump housing 11 fixedly mounted to a top wall 18 of an underlying support housing 17. The pump housing 11 mounts a centrifugal pump 11a therewithin, with a drive motor 12 driving the centrifugal pump 11a utilizing electrical power cord 13 and operative through an on/off switch 14. An inlet conduit 15 is mounted to a first side wall of the pump housing 11, with an outlet conduit 16 mounted on an opposed side wall. Each respective inlet and outlet conduit includes a respective externally threaded end 15a and 16a. The support housing 17 includes a first side wall 19 spaced from a second side wall 20. The first side wall 19 includes a lower terminal end 19a, the second side wall including a second side wall lower terminal end 20a. The first and second side walls define a mounting slot 21 therebetween to permit mounting of the support housing 17 onto a flange of a sink member and the like. It is noted that a secondary mounting slot 23 is directed through a bottom surface of the top wall 18 to permit alignment of the interior surface of the top wall 18 onto a narrower sink flange or to overlie a shower stall flange, as required, to permit portability and positioning of the apparatus as required. The first and second side walls 19 and 20 include respective first and second lower terminal end 19a and 20a that are spaced apart a first spacing defining a narrowed entrance 24 (se FIG. 4), wherein the first spacing is less than that of the second spacing defined between upper terminal ends of the first and second side walls 19 and 20.
Spaced clamps 22 are orthogonally directed through and threadedly received within threaded side wall apertures 22a, wherein each of the spaced clamps 22 included a threaded shank 25 (see FIG. 7) and terminates in a spherical tip 26 to mount a resilient cup member 27 within a socket housing 28 of each cup member to permit pivotment of each cup member 27 relative to the surface of a flange to accommodate various geometrical variations thereof.
Reference to FIGS. 9-11 illustrate the use of a clip member 31 for mounting to a bucket member 29, and more specifically to a bucket member side wall 30 of the bucket member 29. Bifurcated legs 32 of the clip member define a bucket receiving slot therebetween, wherein the legs are resiliently biased towards one another to effect engagement of the bucket side wall between the bifurcated legs. A clip member head 34 is orthogonally and fixedly mounted to upper terminal ends of the bifurcated legs 32 and extend laterally of the bifurcated legs, with the clip member head 34 defining a keyhole slot 35 to receive and secure a fluid entrance hose 36 within the slot. Reference to FIG. 4 illustrates the use of a fluid entrance hose 36 mounted to the inlet conduit 15, with a fluid exit hose 37 mounted to the fluid outlet conduit 16. Each hose includes an internally threaded connector 38 and in turn is mounted to each respective externally threaded end of the inlet and outlet conduit 15a and 16a respectively. The internally threaded connector 38 permits mounting of each hose thereto in a convenient and secure manner. FIG. 14 illustrates the use of a filter head 39 that is secured within an entrance opening of the entrance hose 36. The filter head 39 includes a semi-spherical apertured head 40 in fluid communication with a filter tube 41. The filter tube 41 includes a serrated exterior surface 42 to provide frictional engagement within an internal surface of the entrance hose 36. In this manner, the filter head 39 is directed within water to be removed from within a sink or shower organization and permits directing of fluid exteriorly therefrom to be received within a convenient receptacle such as the bucket member 30, with the exit hose 37 mounted within the keyhole slot 35.
As to the manner of usage and operation of the instant invention, the same should be apparent from the above disclosure, and accordingly no further discussion relative to the manner of usage and operation of the instant invention shall be provided.
With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of the invention, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by the present invention.
Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the invention. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the invention to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the invention.
